Greetings and Welcome! My name is Crag Heydar, a.k.a. Crag
Heyder, of Prentil Studios and I am an independent game designer/developer/programmer and Artist.
My project is Swords of Vridhan, which sets you, the player, in the land of the
Great Isle of Prentil. Prentil
is an epic fantasy world created by co-collaborator
Nick Greaves. Swords of Vridhan is free to play, and will rely solely on donations to continue development and refinement.

Currently under development using the glorious
Unreal
Engine 4
, Swords of Vridhan is a switchable 1st/3rd person perspective
fantasy role playing game in which you develop your character by increasing attributes
through training and skill use. Questing is a big part of the Swords of Vridhan
experience and players will directly and freely affect the political and
economic environment of the world. As a
player, you can explore this strange new world, clear areas of monsters and wilderness
to make towns and help civilize the land. Or, if you prefer, you can become a bandit who preys on the weak and the
unwary, or a lone adventurer who carves out their own niche in the world.

Our ultimate goal is to create a fully immersive MMORPG, but
we plan to achieve this goal through a series of releases.

The first release will be a standalone single player version
of the game. This will allow us to work
with you, our players and supporters, and fully develop our character
development, inventory and combat systems.

The second release will allow players to host their own game
servers. As a host, you will be able to
custom configure your version of the world of Prentil and invite friends to
play along. Host a monster battle, a
social event, or a PVP match – it’s all up to you!

The third release will incorporate the persistent universe
and the world clock. Each host that
chooses to do so will be linked into a central server that will control the
world’s timetable and sync all of the individual host servers together. This will allow us to push content, make
updates to the overall world status, and maintain a universal leaderboard. This release will also introduce the world
lineage system. No longer will you be
limited to the life of a handful of characters. The Swords of Vridhan will give you the ability to perpetuate entire
bloodlines. Carve out your own piece of
the world and create a legacy!

The fourth release will be the full MMORPG. But the beauty of this release is that all of
the previous versions of the game will still be fully functional. Play the game on your own, run your own
disconnected fully customized world, run your own interactive version of
Prentil, or immerse yourself in the full MMO experience – the choices are
yours!

The final version of the game will introduce functionality
that will make the Swords of Vridhan truly unique. As the players complete the first saga of the
Prentil game, they will be introduced to the capability to travel to different
worlds! The Swords of Vridhan will
expand beyond the world of Prentil and open up our players to an entire
universe. Take your sorceress to the old
west, or your knight to a world with advanced technology. The possibilities will be endless. If we can think it up, we will program it!

Goals

$1 of $500 per month

When we hit $500 per month, we will release the Pre-Alpha R2 version of the game. This will be a standalone, single-player version of the game that will help us work out the kinks and get this thing rolling! Once we are in Beta mode, we will continue to release new content each month. That means new maps, new quests, new monsters and new gear.
